See You Tomorrow is a dark comedy based on true events — exploring memory, truth, justice, and what happens when the only witness to a crime can’t testify. It’s messy. It’s funny. It’s painful. It’s absurd. And somehow… based on true events. We’re officially taking the show to Edinburgh Fringe this summer — but independent theatre is not for the financially stable. We need to pay our next venue instalment by the 15th (just under £2k 😅) and we’re asking our community to help us get there. If you believe in bold new work, brave storytelling, and supporting artists making things from the ground up — we’d love your support. Every pledge genuinely helps.

misSfits class dismissed ! I can’t quite believe the whirlwind of the fringe has ended for us (and it’s only been a week of it!) This place is crammed full of talent and heart and I am truly grateful for those students that came along to our little midday show. I wrote misSfits from both personal experience but also to build a community within the cosy walls of a primary school classroom. I wanted to rewrite baby gay and celebrate both those who wish to come out or not - whatever age they might be. I hope I’ve inspired some to become braver and for those that sit outside of the LGBTQIA+ community - I hope you take from the show just the importance of being your self. And just be supportive to those friends close to you who might need a bit of encouragement to embrace their true selves too. As I certainly wouldn’t be where I am without those loved ones around me either. Especially the one and only Imo @owlcottrill (tech and support guru) Maybe see you in another class some day. But for now - just enjoy the summer holidays!

Thanks to everyone who came to my preview of ‘misSfits’ and the first time I have performed properly in over a decade. Bring on the Edinburgh fringe and 9 more shows I attempt to do a bit of acting again (I promise it’s worth the watch!) See you there x #newtheatre #babygay #gay #misselliott #school #comingofage #fringetheatre

“The Road Ahead” (2024) A wonderful set of films I had the pleasure to direct and delve into this year at Guildhall School. Met the next big cohort of on and off screen talent and can’t wait to see what amazing productions they will all end up in. Watch this space. The eight commissioned films were written by Zinnie Harris, Tim Price, Stef Smith, Hannah Khalil, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan, Dare Aiyebaygo, Daniel York Loh and Morgan Lloyd Malcom Produced by (the incredible) Jamie D Allen In collaboration and support with Guildhall School staff, student and freelancers. #film #shortfilms #newwriting #guildhall #cityoflondon
